[edit] Early Life
Kazuma was born in Vancouver, BC, in St. Paul's Hospital. According to his mother (name disclosed), he kept crying for approximately 6 hours after birth. Unlike most Canadian children, he was terribly frightened by the American chidren's TV Show "Sesame Street" and Barney & Friends, but enjoyed watching Japanese children's shows such as "Anpanman", "Hirake! Ponkiki" and "Okaasan to Issho". He was once scolded at for drawing on himself with a crayon when at the age of 4. In addition he was also terribly frightened by the Christmas Tree.
[edit] Childhood
When attending pre-shcool Kazuma always dreamed about becoming a Cyborg. In Grade 1 he did not know how to write English, so his first journal assignment was written along the lines of "WXZPFY", with a picture of him playing outside. In Grade 2 to Grade 3 he was bullied by a student of the same age as him, and in Grade 6 he bullied a new Chinese student in his school (reason supposedly was that "he kind of deserves it". In Grade 7 he passed with a GPA of about 60%.
[edit] High School
When in high school (Grade 8), Kazuma was fascinated by the idea of lockers, but soon found it potentially useless. He attended Alpha Secondary School. During his Grade 8 year he and his family moved from their old apartment to a townhouse that was at the opposite direction of Alpha. In Grade 9 he decided to switch to Moscrop Secondary School. In Grade 10 Kazuma started to skip some school days (which he had never done in his life prior to this), sleep at 11PM to 2AM (when he usually slept at 10PM), and had some difficulty concentrating on school. In Grade 11 he suffered from an emotional breakdown, causing him to fail the second term for Physics and Social Studies. He also suffered from suicidal thoughts which had the Ministry of Children and Family Development involved, and was recommended to see a Counselor and a Psychiatrist. He soon solved his severe mental depression with the help of his friends. He now states that seeing the Counselor and the Psychiatrist was a waste of time and money.
[edit] Present Life
Kazuma currently is enrolled in Grade 12, though skipping many times, he finds his life to be a bit better than his year in Grade 11, but still feels horrible due to events that occurred in between. He now wishes to put all his efforts in attending all classes and graduating successfully.
[edit] List of Marks During High School
Here will list all the GPA through Grade 8 to 11:
- Grade 8: 85%
- Grade 9: 81%
- Grade 10: 75%
- Grade 11: 71%
[edit] Work Experience
Kazuma earned his first job at Tim Horton's. This was possible because his mother used to work there, and knew the Manager very well. He joined the team in June 2006, and left the team at the end of January 2007 because he thought it was time to move on to another job to gain more experience. He later joined the AngusOne team on the summer of 2007.
[edit] Interests and Hobbies
Kazuma currently sees nothing that interests him. He does indeed use the computer frequently, play video games, but doesn't see them as an interest or hobby. He wishes to find what truly interests him after high school.
